Yup, that's it. The air dam is, in theory, a spoiler, just on the underside of the car. It's the little black plastic piece that hangs down under the bumper. It reduces aerodynamic drag under the car and redirects air into the radiator.
(It can also be found along the side of many roads and highways b/c people tend to rip them off and discard them like they're useless)

Just got mine today. It just stated that the air dam issue was one corrected in 07, so you may or may not have a problem. Mine has held up like a champ and I have heard it scrape a lot on the curbs when I pull in to park.

REWARD EXCELLENCE!

Mine has a nice big crack in the middle, under the plate holder. Fortunately, it broke clean enough that I used a little of that 200mph black duct tape they use in NASCAR on the back. You can't see the break until you are practically nose up to it.

Still, I'd like to have it fixed. I hate knowing that something is broken on my car, even if you can't see it.

REWARD EXCELLENCE!

GM had this problem with the previous generation Pontiac Grand Prixs as well (I owned a '99 GP before the Aura). My GP's dam was always hitting the ground or getting stuck on parking bumpers...my Aura is MUCH higher off the ground.

I broke mine the second night of owning the Aura driving into my driveway at the same speed I would in my VUE, snapped right in half.
Ordered and Replaced it the next week.
Guess the letter says I'm entitled to a reimbursment.

I recieved my letter today as well. Why isn't it a recall instead of a FYI?

Because it isn't a safety item and only applies if you happen to damage it. There's no specific defect in the air dam, they're just letting you know that, if you do damage it (typically not a warranty item), you'll be covered under the bumper-to-bumper factory warranty. Breaking the new and improved air dam, however, is not covered.
